QQ More, Please

I've noticed a lot of conservative bloggers crying and whining: "Four years of Obama, oh noes! Is it over yet?" Here's an excellent example. As someone who worked for the Gore Campaign, I say unto them: You have nothing to complain about. Your candidate came nowhere close to winning the popular vote, and the election was not decided by a 5-4 vote of the Supreme Court. No, I am not saying Bush was illegitimately installed into office. I'm saying your side got your tails whipped, and perhaps you ought to own it and learn how the majority of voters who cast their votes for Al Gore in 2000 have felt for the last eight years. I have no doubt that many on the right want to fast-forward to 2012, when Sarah Palin or Bobby Jindal will surely take them to the promised land (riiiiiiight), but until then, in the words of my generation, keep on QQ'ing.

I'm not sure why my very brief (and slightly humorous) post is an excellent example of anything other than an excuse for you to do a victory dance. Apparently we're supposed to shut up and just accept things. Or if that isn't your point, then you've really obscured it in your sneering.

Regardless, since I have the right to complain, I'm going to do so. Often.

Conveniently, we can re-use the "BDS" acronym.

Then again, "ODS" sounds like "odious".
